Everyone does it, we're all guilty of watching cooking show and Food Network. We all have our favorites. Who are yours?
Those that I can't stand stem from the fact that they rarely if ever do recipes accessible to the common cook. Those that I love have always been ones that make food anyone could do.
Those I love (in no paricular order):
Alton Brown: Host of "Good Eats" on Food Network.
Justin Wilson: "I garontee!!!!"
Jeff Smith: Retired host of "The Frugal Gourmet."
Martin Yan: Host of various Asian/Chinese cooking shows and specials, most notably "Yan Can Cook!"
Tako the Octopus: The only cooking show hosted by a cephalopod. Yes a cephalopod.
And those I can't stand:
Emeril Lagasse: If I hear "Bam!" one more time someone's losing a larynix!
Julia Child: I cringe everytime I watch this woman cook. Not only does her voice grate on my nerves, but she has no idea of safe food handling practices.
Bobby Flay: No. Just no.
Martha Stewart: Nuff said!
